The complexity of health care reform has been apparent over the past decade, starting with the deliberations that led to passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and continuing through recent efforts to repeal, replace, and modify that legislation.  What have been the successes of the ACA? What have been the failures? What changes do most expert – liberal and conservative – agree about?  Where are the key points of difference? These questions and more will be discussed in a Fireside Chat format.

Join us for an informative discussion!  There will be ample time for questions from attendees.  Please submit questions in advance during registration.
